Electronic Damping Control (EDC)
*
Dynamic Brake Control (DBC) *
DBC is part of DSC.
If the brake pedal is pressed down
rapidly, this system automatically
boosts the braking force to a maximum
and thus helps to pull the car up in the
shortest possible distance when a full
brake application is made. It also
makes full use of the advantages
offered by ABS.
Maintain pressure on the brake pedal
during the entire brake application. If
the brake pedal is released, DBC will be
switched off.
This system automatically ensures that
movement of the road wheels is
damped according to the car's needs,
and therefore enhances both ride
comfort and safety.
Automatic control
Automatic control is activated each
time the engine is started. It takes effect
over the entire road-speed range and
regardless of the load on the car. If the
influencing factors change (road
surface quality or operating conditions
such as steering, braking etc.), the
damping action is modified automati-
cally in a fraction of a second to suit the
new situation.
